🟡 Want Exposure to Bitcoin? A Director Bought Shares of…
👉 Strategy Inc. (formerly MicroStrategy) — MSTR
Hook:
If Bitcoin had a suit, a balance sheet, and a boardroom… it might look a lot like Strategy (MSTR).
Yesterday, Carl J. Rickertsen, director at Strategy, put nearly $780,000 of his own money to work—buying 5,000 shares at $155.88, opening a brand-new position. No dabbling. No “toe in the water.” Just a clean, first-class boarding pass onto the Bitcoin express. 🚀₿
Now, let’s be clear:
This isn’t just a software company anymore.
Strategy has reinvented itself as a Bitcoin treasury company—offering investors leveraged exposure to BTC without needing a wallet, a seed phrase, or nerves of titanium. Institutions clearly get the memo too: roughly 59% of shares are institutionally owned, with giants like Vanguard, BlackRock, and Capital International holding billions in exposure.
At around $168/share, the stock looks:
-
📉 Cheap by some measures (low forward P/E, price/book flirting with value territory)
-
📈 Expensive by others (price/sales that screams “I really like Bitcoin”)
And that’s the point.
Buying MSTR instead of Bitcoin is not about moderation.
It’s about amplification.
Think of it this way:
-
Bitcoin = raw signal
-
MSTR = signal + leverage + volatility + Michael Saylor energy ⚡
If BTC goes up, MSTR tends to go up more.
If BTC sneezes… MSTR catches a cold.
So why do it?
Because for highly bullish investors, MSTR is a high-octane proxy—a way to express conviction inside a traditional brokerage account, with optionality layered on top.
Rickertsen’s background makes the move even more interesting. This isn’t a YOLO trader. This is a Harvard-Stanford-trained private equity veteran, boardroom regular, and author/screenwriter who’s seen plenty of cycles—and still chose this moment to buy.
🧠 The takeaway?
If you want measured exposure to Bitcoin, buy Bitcoin.
If you want magnified exposure—and can stomach the turbulence—MSTR is the roller coaster with the front-row seat.
Carpe Diem.
You don’t need a private key to ride this one…
But you do need a strong constitution.
